aside for Jimbow....Did you ever find the name of that book about the layers of Hell like in Dante's Inferno?

Divine Comedy?
Help me out.... remind me. :p

Try it, I think you'll like it.I've read Implant and liked it very much. I just got it out again to reread along with Deep as the Marrow. I haven't read Mirage and the LaNague Federation books, but they'll definitely be next. Love finding new books by a favorite author I haven't read!
XamberB Wrote:Have you read George R.R. Martin's Crown of Swords books. They are nice and thick and very intricate.I'd second the recommendation, but add that the first book is called Game of Thrones and the series is called The Song of Ice and Fire. Subsequent books are called Clash of Kings, Storm of Swords and Feast of Crows, with Dance of Dragons hopefully out next year (although Georgy has been known to miss a deadline or ten).

Scott Miller Wrote:Scott Lynch's debut, The Lies of Locke Lamora, is along the same complex lines as Martin's series and I thought it was a pretty incredible.Seconded.
Dave Wrote:As Scott said Locke Lamara is great fun and has a bit of meat to it.Or thirded, I guess.
